possibly elude their search. Your Material Court of Errors,
when it condemned Mortal Man on the ground of hygienic
disobedience, was manipulated by the oleaginous machinations
of the counsel, False Belief, whom Truth arraigns

Morbid Secretion is taught how to make sleep befool reason

Mortal Minds were deceived by your attorney, False Belief,
and were influenced to give a verdict delivering Mortal

The false and unjust beliefs of your human mental legislators
compel them to enact wicked laws of sickness and so

as crime. In the presence of the Supreme Lawgiver, standing
at the bar of Truth, and in accordance with the divine
statutes, I repudiate the false testimony of Personal Sense.
I ask that he be forbidden to enter against Mortal Man

I appeal to the just and equitable decisions of divine Spirit
to restore to Mortal Man the rights of which he has been
deprived.
